Mr. Wok is absolutely the best thing that could have happened to a defunct Pizza Hut. Since 1989, the Kang family has been using the remodeled space in Plano to serve some of the Dallas area’s best Peking duck. You’ll notice the old relic in the rooflines, but walk through the front door and any notions of deep-dish pizza will evaporate quickly. The beggar’s chicken is another popular dish involving a bird that’s stuffed with sticky rice and slowly roasted for 20 hours. You’ll need to call two days ahead to order the chicken, and one day ahead for the duck. Both are worth the effort.
